Why We Love This

A gorgeous early-20th-century modernist oil painting with exquisite period detail, a vibrant palette and bravura brushwork. Mother and daughter are preparing food at a kitchen table. Signed lower center, "Messenger" for Ivan Messenger, (American, 1895-1983), notable California artist and member of the San Diego Moderns whose work is held in museums throughout the United States. Displayed in an archival raw silk mat and custom-made 22kt giltwood frame by Richard Tobey. Painting, 11"W x 10"H.

About
McNaught Fine Art

A 1986 graduate of Christie's Fine Arts of London, I headed the fine art department of a West Coast auction house before opening my own gallery. Each painting I represent is selected with care. I believe fine art to be an integral part of life, illuminating both our vision and our values for our children. As time passes, our paintings become heirlooms, enriched with our shared memories. Many things come and go. Art abides. - Anthony McNaught
